I want to get a tow-bar fitted to my 2007 T32, so that I can fit a bike rack that can go on either car.

Any recommendations for kit and companies?

Cheers.

I went with a Westfalia removable with 7 pin aftermarket bypass electrics for £360 fitted. Seems simple enough to fit yourself but I'm getting lazy. I've used PF Jones in the past for my SMax but this time on my Transporter I went direct to the fitter that PF Jones used last time. If you're in the East Midlands and surrounding area let me know and i'll be happy to pass on his details.

I went for a fixed with 7pin electrics and a number plate all in for £280 fitted. I went for a fixed for a few reasons - cheaper, greater load capacity and unlike on other vehicles, the fixed doesn't interfere with the parking sensors. Phil Taylor in Hampshire if that's any good for you?

Witter detachable on 2007 t5 with reversing sensors. Towbar rack infinitely better than tailgate rack it replaced. No fancy wiring needed for pre vag I think? Doesn't interfere with sensors at all - had I of known that I would have got a non detachable swan neck.

2007 was last year of no dpf and no vag for most models except maybe the 2.5(I have 1.9 and defo no dpf which was deliberate)

Cheers guys. I'm in West Dorset - so the Hampshire one could be good. And I definitely want fixed.

Excuse my ignorance, but def and vag?
